From the post:

>NASA ran into exasperating fuel leaks during a make-or-break test of its new moon rocket Monday, calling into question how soon astronauts could take off for a trip around the moon. The leaks — reminiscent of the rocket’s delayed debut three years ago — sprang just a couple hours into the daylong fueling operation at Kennedy Space Center. Launch controllers began loading the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket with super-cold hydrogen and oxygen at midday. More than 700,000 gallons (2.6 million liters) had to flow into the tanks and remain on board for several hours, mimicking the final stages of an actual countdown.

Strange, seems like I heard this before. It’s a challenge to remember. It’s challenging to launch in cold weather. Why do they always schedule to launch in cold weather. Maybe they are just challenged. We should call them team challenger.

Something, something, o-rings and ignoring engineers that told them to not build this fucking thing in the first place.

A "rogue" team of engineers spent their OWN TIME to design a better system/craft and were silenced.

Houston go with throttle up. Go with throttle up.
